Matthias Rebbe has very generously explained how to do this (I mean how to set up the selling of a download product via FastSpring using Zygodact to get the license codes). I **almost** got it working (it actually did work for one out of two products) when I noticed that the version of LiveCode Server I was using was one of the LC7 series, so I decided to update it.

All I’ve got is my own modest web presence, a CGI folder and so on. I tried simply replacing the old LC Server folder with the new one, but that seems to have no effect at all. I can’t run a test program (test.lc or whatever) from a browser, and the tests which were working on the FastSpring site - which call LC programs on the server - now don’t work at all.
